The event included a panel discussion with Domagoj Babic, Kathryn McKinley, Nina Taft, Roy Want and Sunny Colsalvo about their unique career paths in academia and industry. Fellows also had the chance to connect one-on-one with Googlers to discuss their research, as well as receive feedback from leaders in their fields in smaller deep dives and a poster event.

Fellows share their work with Google researchers during the poster session

Our PhD Fellows represent some the best and brightest young researchers around the globe in Computer Science and it is our ongoing goal to support them as they make their mark on the world.

We’d additionally like to announce the complete list of our 2017 Google PhD Fellows, including the latest recipients from China and East Asia, India, and Australia. We look forward to seeing each of them at next year’s summit!
